Criminal Justice Research - Workshop/Seminar

Workshops and seminars take myriad forms: some focus on scholars’ works in progress, others serve as speaker series for innovative work. They are recurring events and normally meet several times a semester. We encourage, where appropriate, that workshops and seminars be free and open to the public. Funding can cover travel and lodging, workshop materials and publicity, refreshments or meals, and a small stipend (calculated hourly) for a graduate student coordinator. We strongly recommend that your proposal be accessible to scholars beyond your immediate field.
